msnbc how much meat do you eat poll Lori

[Guest guest]

We could never be your friend... :-) LOL just kidding.

 

As for why give it up for something that tastes just

like it. I gave up meat immediately after passing a

chicken truck on the road one day. I had been living

with my husbad who had been veg for like 10 years

already and had already given up pork because pigs are

my favorite animals. We were on our way to Toronto and

passed this truck in which 5 chickens were stuffed

together into cages the size of a large shoebox. That

did it I cried for like three hours about the

injustice of it all and never looked back. I also like

the idea that I am more healthy, saving the

environment, and fighting against factory farming all

at the same time. But that is just what is right for

me. I hope you enjoy this group.

Whitney,

I followed a semi truck down a winding mountain pass and I could hear

the cattle crying in fear. My heart broke and I cried for them. I was

so sorry for the inhumanity of it all. Poor creatures had been taken

from the grassy fields and loaded into a cramped two layer truck.

When I think of the pain and fear these animals suffered it still

hurts. The feed lots and cages are the same. While in Kansas this

month I passed several huge feed lots and not only the smell was

horrible but the poor creatures standing in that is more than I want

as a memory.-- In , whitney
